Unable to delete part of pattern-generated bodies

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I was trying to generate a honeycomb pattern that fits into an approximate rectangle shape. During pattern I already suppressed some of them, but later I would like to delete two more rows of them, as shown in the screenshot. However, when I select them and hit delete, the whole pattern (all of these pattern-generated hexagons) is deleted. What is the correct way to do it?

This is one of those weird timeline things.  I understand why it does this for components, but not clear on why it's like this for bodies.  regardless, use "remove" instead of "delete"
